Booze, news and views from a drunken opinionated fool who can't spell very well, may well repeat himself, and can't blame it on dislexia

a little bit of his bobness

Here's two Bob Dylan songs l never get tired of hearing. The rather magnificent 'Tangled up in Blue' from 'Blood on the Tracks' and 'Hurricane' from 'Desire'. I especially love the look he was carrying off when singing 'Tangled', which was during the Rolling Thunder Review / Renaldo and Clara period, and am a sucker for Scarlet Rivera's fiddle playing on 'Hurricane' (as well as the lyrics in both songs).
Listening to how he was then reminds me of why l don't want to go and see him live nowadays. I'd rather remember him when he was still great, rather than the sad parody he has become.
